Releases from Lake Britton Dam into Pit 3 continue at or above 1,800 CFS,, below the Pit 4 dam and through Big Bend the flows are manageable. The lower river continues to clear and the gage on Pit 7 shows it should be good to go. The river is fishing well with fish spread throughout the system. Rubberlegs and Baetis patterns are working well. No real hatches coming off to speak of, but these fish put on the feed bag this time of year so put your flies in front of them and they'll eat it.
As always, the flows on the Pit can and will change without notice, so definitely check before you go! And be prepared to get out when the river begins to rise.

Here are some useful links to monitor the flows:
